We had a wonderful stay in the Boiler Room. The room was gorgeous - exactly as pictured and very clean. The host was extremely responsive and quickly answered any questions we had. As others have said, sometimes you can hear the guests upstairs. It was never a problem, but if you are a light sleeper, just be aware you may need ear plugs. (I used the sound machine that is in the room and it helped tremendously). It was a short walk to the subway and then a quick ride into the city. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a nice visit for our son’s graduation. Eddie was incredibly responsive and answered any and all questions we had. The room was very cozy but very dark, but that’s to be expected since it’s a basement. Other reviewers weren’t happy with the kitchenette - that didn’t bother us. What we had trouble with was the people above us. I’m wondering if they are told that there are people below them when they check in because it sounded like a house party for elephants was going on above us. I understand the house is old (and beautiful!) and that we were on the very bottom level, but it seriously sounded like the people above were dropping weights on the floor. They came back one time at 3:00 AM and instead of passing out or going straight to bed, they thought it would be a good idea to walk around and do things till almost 4:00 AM. Anyway, despite all of this, Eddie alone made this a positive experience. I’m not trying to be totally negative, I just want people to be aware of what they MAY experience. Things might not be so frustrating for others!

Cutest VRBO

We loved this VRBO for our Boston trip! Traffic was very reasonable in the area. The place was fully equipped for a couple nights! Not much to offer as far as a fridge, but that’s ok. Great patio space for both coffee in the morning or drinks at night! Highly recommend :)

Wonderful. Eddie (owner) was very nice and respectful and the place was clean. The walk to the train station was like maybe 6 minutes away which was wonderful for getting around Boston. The have coffee and drinks you can buy while there, no need to grab drinks. Definitely the place we are starting when we come back.

Cozy hideaway

I enjoyed staying at this property. It was cozy, well-decorated, and homey, which made me feel very comfortable. I appreciated that it was clean and well-appointed. My only two notes are that the refrigerator is not very large so it was difficult to keep my leftovers. Also, I enjoyed the location, which sage, but will note for others that it is a bit far from central Boston. The host, Eddie, was very communicative, helpful, and responsive. I would stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at the Boiler Room for a long weekend getaway and to go to 2 concerts at the MGM Fenway. The Boiler Room is super aesthetic and cute!! The bed was comfy and the shower was nice and big! It's unfortunately more like 20-25 minutes away from Fenway not 10 as we saw under the map in the listing. There's also an extra 20 a day charge if you have more than 1 guest staying, which wasn't stated in the listing. Eddie responded quickly to all our messages and offered us suggestions on places to see and eat during our trip. The patio area in the back was absolutely beautiful and a great spot for coffee in the morning or a drink at night. We would definitely stay here again!

I cannot say enough about how great the Boiler Room is. Our stay was most excellent, and I can only concur with all previous reviews. Great Location, Great Decor, Lots of Parking....but what stands out most are the VERY gracious host. The Romo’s are fantastic people; we had excellent drinks, great conversation, and would love to visit again. We have had many VRBO stays, but this one has been the best!

Eclectic and Convenient

We wanted to take some of the furniture home! Obviously a lot of thought went into the refurbishment, decoration and furnishing of the unit. Convenient to T and some fine dining. Super fast WiFi. Although in the city, there was some interesting wildlife; our first morning there I surprised three wild turkeys in the yard! Eddie almost seemed to read our minds when we reached out with a couple of questions. Our next stay in the Boston area we’ll definitely hope one of Eddie’s units are available.
